Q

What are lining mechanisms due to deep punched out ulcers ?

A

Abscess - GI tract getting weak- If it doesn’t find an opening to relieve the pressure
Fistula- finds opening to relieve the pressure
Stricture- narrow

SX- Fever unknown orgin, Sepis

17
Q

What will colonoscopy, CT or MRI reveal?

A

DX for Chron’s vs. UC
Transmural ulcers- include all layers
lesion dispersed
Punched out ulcers
Damage-Rectal +/- , perianal, strictures, illeum involved

18
Q

What is most challenging with IBD tx?

A
Flares
Pt stop meds until flare
Inconsistent btwn pt
Cost
ADE
19
Q

What are goals with TX

A

Maintain clinical remission- cut down bowel 20 to 4 per day, no blood in the stool

iii. Heal mucosal lesions
iv. Decrease hospitalization/surgery
v. Minimize disease and treatment-related complications

20
Q

What influence the response of TX for IBD?

A

i. Ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease
ii. severity
iii. Anatomic location
iv. Previous response to medications
v. Side effects of medications
vi. Comorbidities
vii. Patient preferences

21
Q

What agent are used for mild IBD, Modifies activity of immune system to reduce inflammation.

A
Immunomodulators:
CHRONIC IBD prior to Steroids
a.	6-mercaptopurine (6-MP)
b.	Azathioprine (AZA, prodrug of 6-MP)
c.	Methotrexate (MTX)
Used in IBD for 30y ,*** Slow onset of action (~ 6 months)

ADE

a. **Infectious complications
b. Myelosuppression 5%
c. Transaminase elevation- Cholestatic hepatitis <1%
d. Pancreatitis 3%
e. Fever/myalgia 2%
f. Nausea/dyspepsia up to 20%
g. Lymphoma rare
h. Increase in non-melanoma skin cancers
i. Up to 20% d/c

22
Q

What is use to treat MOD or MILD IBD?

A

Budesonide- induce remisson, not maintenance. Affinity for GI tract
Less ADE than Prednisone

***Corticosteroid Prednisone- acute flares of IBD
 ADE
Short-Term:
i.	Weight gain
ii.	Fluid retention
iii.	Sleep disturbance
iv.	Mood swings
v.	Acne

b. Long-Term:
i. Infection
ii. Bone loss / osteoporosis
iii. Cataracts / Glaucoma
iv. Skin fragility
v. Hypertension
vi. Diabetes

23
Q

Which agents are used for severe IBD along with surgery, and target TNF and it neutralizes it so it can’t propagate inflammation?

A
Biologics- Anti-TNF 
Injections-
Remicade,
Humira, 
Cimzia, 
Simponi

40% response, habituate
Cost>15K/yr

24
Q

WHat molecule in the body is a key factor in inflammation. neutralize this molecule increase you risk to infection b/c our inflammatory response is not there

a. TB reactivation
b. Hepatitis B reactivation
